Ruth 1

Now it came to pass in the days
<03117>
when the judges
<08199> (8802)
ruled
<08199> (8800)_,
that there was a famine
<07458>
in the land
<0776>_.
And a certain man
<0376>
of Bethlehemjudah
<01035> <03063>
went
<03212> (8799)
to sojourn
<01481> (8800)
in the country
<07704>
of Moab
<04124>_,
he, and his wife
<0802>_,
and his two
<08147>
sons
<01121>_.
{ruled: Heb. judged}
And the name
<08034>
of the man
<0376>
[was] Elimelech
<0458>_,
and the name
<08034>
of his wife
<0802>
Naomi
<05281>_,
and the name
<08034>
of his two
<08147>
sons
<01121>
Mahlon
<04248>
and Chilion
<03630>_,
Ephrathites
<0673>
of Bethlehemjudah
<01035> <03063>_.
And they came
<0935> (8799)
into the country
<07704>
of Moab
<04124>_,
and continued there. {continued: Heb. were}
And Elimelech
<0458>
Naomi's
<05281>
husband
<0376>
died
<04191> (8799)_;
and she was left
<07604> (8735)_,
and her two
<08147>
sons
<01121>_.
And they took
<05375> (8799)
them wives
<0802>
of the women
<0802>
of Moab
<04125>_;
the name
<08034>
of the one
<0259>
[was] Orpah
<06204>_,
and the name
<08034>
of the other
<08145>
Ruth
<07327>_:
and they dwelled
<03427> (8799)
there about ten
<06235>
years
<08141>_.
And Mahlon
<04248>
and Chilion
<03630>
died
<04191> (8799)
also both
<08147>
of them; and the woman
<0802>
was left
<07604> (8735)
of her two
<08147>
sons
<03206>
and her husband
<0376>_.
Then she arose
<06965> (8799)
with her daughters in law
<03618>_,
that she might return
<07725> (8799)
from the country
<07704>
of Moab
<04124>_:
for she had heard
<08085> (8804)
in the country
<07704>
of Moab
<04124>
how that the LORD
<03068>
had visited
<06485> (8804)
his people
<05971>
in giving
<05414> (8800)
them bread
<03899>_.
Wherefore she went forth
<03318> (8799)
out of the place
<04725>
where she was, and her two
<08147>
daughters in law
<03618>
with her; and they went
<03212> (8799)
on the way
<01870>
to return
<07725> (8800)
unto the land
<0776>
of Judah
<03063>_.
And Naomi
<05281>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto her two
<08147>
daughters in law
<03618>_,
Go
<03212> (8798)_,
return
<07725> (8798)
each
<0802>
to her mother's
<0517>
house
<01004>_:
the LORD
<03068>
deal
<06213> (8799)
kindly
<02617>
with you, as ye have dealt
<06213> (8804)
with the dead
<04191> (8801)_,
and with me.
The LORD
<03068>
grant
<05414> (8799)
you that ye may find
<04672> (8798)
rest
<04496>_,
each
<0802>
[of you] in the house
<01004>
of her husband
<0376>_.
Then she kissed
<05401> (8799)
them; and they lifted up
<05375> (8799)
their voice
<06963>_,
and wept
<01058> (8799)_.
And they said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, Surely we will return
<07725> (8799)
with thee unto thy people
<05971>_.
And Naomi
<05281>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Turn again
<07725> (8798)_,
my daughters
<01323>_:
why will ye go
<03212> (8799)
with me? [are] there yet [any more] sons
<01121>
in my womb
<04578>_,
that they may be your husbands
<0582>_?
Turn again
<07725> (8798)_,
my daughters
<01323>_,
go
<03212> (8798)
[your way]; for I am too old
<02204> (8804)
to have an husband
<0376>_.
If I should say
<0559> (8804)_,
I have
<03426>
hope
<08615>_,
[if] I should have an husband
<0376>
also to night
<03915>_,
and should also bear
<03205> (8804)
sons
<01121>_;
{should have...: or were with an husband}
Would ye tarry
<07663> (8762)
for them
<03860>
till they were grown
<01431> (8799)_?
would ye stay
<05702> (8735)
for them
<03860>
from having husbands
<0376>_?
nay, my daughters
<01323>_;
for it grieveth
<04843> (8804)
me much
<03966>
for your sakes that the hand
<03027>
of the LORD
<03068>
is gone out
<03318> (8804)
against me. {tarry: Heb. hope} {it grieveth...: Heb. I have much bitterness}
And they lifted up
<05375> (8799)
their voice
<06963>_,
and wept again
<01058> (8799)_:
and Orpah
<06204>
kissed
<05401> (8799)
her mother in law
<02545>_;
but Ruth
<07327>
clave
<01692> (8804)
unto her.
And she said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, thy sister in law
<02994>
is gone back
<07725> (8804)
unto her people
<05971>_,
and unto her gods
<0430>_:
return
<07725> (8798)
thou after
<0310>
thy sister in law
<02994>_.
And Ruth
<07327>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Intreat
<06293> (8799)
me not to leave
<05800> (8800)
thee, [or] to return
<07725> (8800)
from following after
<0310>
thee: for whither thou goest
<03212> (8799)_,
I will go
<03212> (8799)_;
and where thou lodgest
<03885> (8799)_,
I will lodge
<03885> (8799)_:
thy people
<05971>
[shall be] my people
<05971>_,
and thy God
<0430>
my God
<0430>_:
{Intreat...: or, Be not against me}
Where thou diest
<04191> (8799)_,
will I die
<04191> (8799)_,
and there will I be buried
<06912> (8735)_:
the LORD
<03068>
do
<06213> (8799)
so to me, and more
<03254> (8686)
also, [if ought] but death
<04194>
part
<06504> (8686)
thee and me.
When she saw
<07200> (8799)
that she was stedfastly minded
<0553> (8693)
to go
<03212> (8800)
with her, then she left
<02308> (8799)
speaking
<01696> (8763)
unto her. {was...: Heb. strengthened herself}
So they two
<08147>
went
<03212> (8799)
until they came
<0935> (8800)
to Bethlehem
<01035>_.
And it came to pass, when they were come
<0935> (8800)
to Bethlehem
<01035>_,
that all the city
<05892>
was moved
<01949> (8735)
about them, and they said
<0559> (8799)_,
[Is] this Naomi
<05281>_?
And she said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Call
<07121> (8799)
me not Naomi
<05281>_,
call
<07121> (8798)
me Mara
<04755>_:
for the Almighty
<07706>
hath dealt very
<03966>
bitterly
<04843> (8689)
with me. {Naomi: that is, Pleasant} {Mara: that is, Bitter}
I went out
<01980> (8804)
full
<04392>_,
and the LORD
<03068>
hath brought me home again
<07725> (8689)
empty
<07387>_:
why [then] call
<07121> (8799)
ye me Naomi
<05281>_,
seeing the LORD
<03068>
hath testified
<06030> (8804)
against me, and the Almighty
<07706>
hath afflicted
<07489> (8689)
me?
So Naomi
<05281>
returned
<07725> (8799)_,
and Ruth
<07327>
the Moabitess
<04125>_,
her daughter in law
<03618>_,
with her, which returned
<07725> (8804)
out of the country
<07704>
of Moab
<04124>_:
and they came
<0935> (8804)
to Bethlehem
<01035>
in the beginning
<08462>
of barley
<08184>
harvest
<07105>_.
